It gets me about as livid as a good Citations Needed episode but more from a "Man, gently caress that rear end in a top hat in particular" standpoint than CNs systemic critiques. I enjoy them but am probably a terrible judge as to whether it is actually good or too unfocused.

Is there a RWN episode (or any podcast for that matter) about international sanctions? What their purpose is, what they actually do, and if they work (I'm guessing they don't). Every week it seems the US puts new sanctions on Iran, but I don't understand how they can keep coming up with more things to sanction. Seems like one of those lovely things the US does that there's a lot more to say about that the press never explores.

Hell yeah, it's incredible listening. All these big tough anti-globalist truth-telling supermen just turn into loving guilty toddlers as soon as they're under oath in a conversation they don't 100% control. Rob Dew not even loving understanding that he's there as a representative of the company and can't "I do not recall :smug:" through the whole deposition was magical.

I recall they discuss sanctions a lot when they discuss Obama / the Middle East - Latina America (lol everywhere). often from the standpoint that it’s essentially siege warfare and that as a tool it’s ineffectually used to force the middle / lower classes to rise up

Yeah it's a well touched upon topic but I don't think they've ever done an episode just about sanctions. They really should.

Earlier this year, Unauthorized Disclosure had on the guy from CEPR who estimated the deaths caused by the sanctions on Venezuela. I haven't listened since it came out, but I remember enjoying it, and I believe it discusses the motivations of sanctions more generally.
http://unauthorizeddisclosure.libsyn.com/s6-episode-16-mark-weisbrot

Moderate Rebels had an episode about the sanctions on Venezuela as well, and honestly I don't remember this one despite listening to most of their releases. Just skipping through the ep it seems decent, it is part 2 of 2 episodes though.
https://moderaterebels.libsyn.com/economic-strangulation-of-venezuela-human-toll-of-us-sanctions-and-regime-change-w-steve-ellner-e34

Both are hosted are people in the War Nerd orbit, Rania Khalek for Unauthorized Disclosure and Max Blumenthal for Moderate Rebels.
